I couldn't make out what she was saying that riled the Brexit Party members, neither could I hear anyone telling her to go home. Any ideas what she was saying?

I'm not passing judgement on anybody until I see a transcript of what was said. I've seen far too many heavily edited clips to trust anything in isolation.

Whereas Farage says he is not anti-immigration as such, although he does heavily qualify that stance at every opportunity. His party (whether UKIP or Brexit) does attract those who definitely are anti immigration, anti foreigner, and racist. That is not to say all Brexit Party supporters are described that way, but many are. Therefore we should not be surprised to hear of such conduct from Brexit Party activists.

I used a good pair of headphones. It was very very clear.
I would also add that it would be quite difficult to heavily edit this - note how the voices nearer the microphone recording source are considerably louder than the speaker's voice, and fade or surge as they turn their heads, or move.
I certainly heard "go home", along with the F word.
But I realise there will always be people who would deny this ever happens in lovely England.
The video I watched was posted at
12:19 PM - May 27, 2019. How long after the declaration?
Some commentary in the ES here

Brexit Party candidate Vishal Khatri – who is himself of Asian heritage and was present at the declaration - confirmed that the shout of “Go home” came from their group, but denied it was racist.

So they don't seem to be denying it.

Such ugly behaviour from a minority of people. Between this and the man canvassing and allegedly having a milkshake thrown at him things are getting nasty.

Sadly, brexit is bringing out the worst in some... It is true to say, that almost all racists support Brexit, but not all supporters of brexit are racists!
Farage appeals to a 'nationalist' mindset - where UK goog, EU bad appeals - it was supported and setup by Johnson and others and by the media.
This type of nationalism is dangerous and can easily become much more - trending towards a type of fascism - from Farage who was never chosen as 'leader' and yet will retain control of his 'company'

You have completely missed the point. The clip doesn't show what the speaker said beforehand. If she called over a million people in the UK fascists then I would say she gave as good as she got.

When the media refer to Marine LePen it is often in reference to her father.....
If you read the article, she is not a nice person and while the media perhaps should not make those references, it's what happens....
Soames - the Grandson of Winston Churchill ....
